Lets's calculate LCM of 969,891
3 | 969, 891 |
323, 297 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 323 x 297 = 287793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/287793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7888/969,2985/891 is 1/287793
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 969,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(969,891) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(969,891) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(969,891) = ( 969 × 891 ) / 3
LCM(969,891) = 863379 / 3
LCM(969,891) = 287793
